Drew turns 1!

We had an action packed weekend this past weekend with two birthdays to celebrate and each equally important. First off was our Mr. Drew man - he turned one on Saturday! He decided to reach a couple milestones during his birthday week. He finally decided to start crawling instead of rolling and army crawling everywhere and he said not just his first word, but his first two words: hi and more. We didn't go all out with a big party, but we did make sure that all of his favorite people were here (Papa, GiGi, Grandma, Papa Randy, Aunt Anna, Leo and Belle).

He started off his special day with a ride on the horsey:

Then he opened his presents:

He really liked his card from Papa & Gigi (it played a song):

Next it was time to dig into his cupcake (and he did not disappoint):

This guy celebrated with the best of them this weekend - we went to his one year check-up today and found out he has pink eye and a double ear infection. Poor buddy, we thought something might be up since he was fighting his sleep, but I didn't expect a double ear infection. I also sort of had a hunch that Drew's weight gain had leveled off, but was shocked to learn that he only weighs 22 lbs 4 oz (I didn't get the exact percentile, but I think it was somewhere between 40 and 50)! This may seem like a lot to other people, but for our babies, it's small. We are used to 90th percentile weight! Isla weighed about two pounds more than this when she turned one. Ryan is already putting Drew on a high fat diet to bulk him up again . . . just kidding. We love him just the way he is! Besides the pink eye and double ear infection, he is a healthy, happy baby.

I can't believe my baby is one! Things he enjoys right now are throwing anything he gets his hands on, banging his toys together to make the loudest sound possible, clapping his hands, and laughing at his sister. He loves music and when he hears anyone sing, good or bad, he will stop whatever he is doing and listen. Happy Birthday to my sweet little boy.
